Sovereignty over our Digital Heritage

Through our daily activities and communications a vast amount of personal activity data is collected, analyzed and exploited ... surprisingly too often not for the benefit of us.

However, the digital footprint of each individual is not only a visual depiction of memories but can be used for many things. It can be put to good use, such as health and asset management, career and personal development. In addition, if shared and accumulated across society based on the individual's free will, it will be useful in preventing the spread of pandemics, improving mobility services, road safety, and supporting responses to disasters for example.

Personal data exports from web services are not readable for ordinary people. This project wants to change this and help individuals obtain the digital footprints from various service providers as comprehensively as possible based on data portability, to organize, integrate, visualize and put our data into an accessible format.

Local First

We don't want to have to upload our personal data to a 3rd party service to be analyzed. Ichnion ensures your data stays with you.

Personal Data

Ichnion aims to make it easy for everyone to obtain, inspect, analyze and control their personal data.

Digital Privacy

With Ichnion everyone can gain insight in the data that is stored about us, fostering transparency in a digital society.

Mission

Code for Myself aims to develop and provide Open Source software to help individuals obtain and manage their personal data archives.
Our goal is to make digital footprints accessible to everyone to be used wisely for ourselves, our families, our communities and society.

We are looking for people from all over the world to join and collaborate on this project.
